Parents Information

I was talking with the lady I nanny for today. While i was talking to her she started to tell me about this thing that the school has for parents. It is a website where parents can go in and check every single assignment that the student has, what the score the student got on the assignment, and what assignments are coming up. They can also sign up for e-mails to be sent to them every time the child drops below an 80% in any class. I thought this was really crazy because when I was in high school we didn't have anything like for parents. Our parents just had to trust and believe us when we said that we didn't have any homework. I think this could be really good for parents so that they can stay informed, but it could also cause a lot of drama with parents and teachers because now the parents will be aware of when their child isn't doing well.
